I have been feeling off about fashion lately and I haven't been able to pinpoint why. Suz recommended a system to determine your style a while back and I found it very useful. I decided not to care and to wear what I wanted the last few days. I have gone with neutrals with color both days.
Yesterday I wore a pair of loose fitting wider legged pants with a fine gauge sweater in cobalt and my navy Fly London ankle boots. It was plain jane but I felt pretty "me" in it so maybe plain jane is my personna.
Today I decided to wear a skirt and pulled out one of the halogen seamed pencil skirts. I added a grey zara silk/cotton blend knit tank. So far, so good. I felt the neck needed something so grabbed a scarf with soft cool colors that picked up on the skirt. I was going to wear the grey gibson jacket from Janet but the colors of grey looked wrong together so I pulled out the black spiegel lemming moto. I added navy socks and my grey born booties and it felt like me.
Here is my take on today.
The skirt is a ladylike pencil skirt that is shaped but not fitted and in a color but not a bright color. The shell is a quality fabric in a neutral color with a higher neckline. The scarf is soft and feminine as well. The booties are fairly sleek and neutral so also on the ladylike side.
The irreverent part is the socks and moto which makes it me. I normally don't wear booties in this way because I don't like to shorten the legline but again decided pffft and wore whatever I wanted.
I was comfortable with my choices but welcome feedback of all kinds. I think I may have found the key to my style - or not. LOL
